Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"FortiSandbox analyzes the behavior of processes in a sandbox environment, which is useful for threat hunting. The solution has an excellent standard configuration, and you can prioritize the types of files of VMs you want to analyze. It also integrates seamlessly with other Fortinet solutions, like FortiGate, FortiMail, and FortiEMS."
"The analysis engine is a very valuable feature."
"The solution has the highest stability...The solution's setup is not complex as they are already included in Fortinet."
"What I find most valuable, is that it is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiSandbox are customization, ICAP protocol, and integration with other vendors. Additionally, the security work very well."
"The GUI makes administration tasks straightforward."
"The solution is very good because it catches a lot of threats in emails."
"The solution extracts an attached file before reaching the user and notifies the user if there's something malicious in the attachment received along with an email."
"The solution is stable with 12 years of established historical data."
 

Cons

"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."
"The main area of concern in Fortinet FortiSandbox is its detection capabilities."
"It should be easier to import custom virtual machines. Some of the VMs that are in FortiSandbox don't have the applications that we have in our environment. We need to import a VM with specific applications that we use in our environment. Have all the licenses because this is a real environment. You need a license for the Windows client you run on it. It's possible to import custom VMs, but it's a pain to do it. I would like a tool that simplifies the process."
"Something that needs to improve, is the end-point protection."
"The response time from technical support should be improved."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox should improve its performance and security accuracy to keep competitive with other solutions, such as IBM."
"The delivery feature in my country is extremely bad."
"The licensing can be very confusing. It needs to be simplified."
"A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet is more reasonable than Palo Alto."
"Altogether, it is about €10,000 for the Sandbox and Email Gateway."
"The price is competitive."
"The solution is affordable."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I rate the product's pricing a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"FortiSandbox is a subscription that can be purchased from Fortinet directly. Only using FortiSandbox as features purchased as a subscription in the cloud."
"There is a license to use this solution."
